How Bismarck Divided thu
Eggs.

How to divide FIVE eggs between
three people is q problem which
might fairly puzzle d philosopher,
but the practical genius of Prince
Bismarck has solved that, as it has
many other difficulties which have
proved too much for profound
thinkers. The only wonder is that
ss he made the discovery as many
as thirteen years ago, it should only
now have been given to the world
in the pages Of The Deutsche
Review. It appears tina. it was OK
the evening OF Gravelotte, after a
day when the Prince, like every
body else, had nothing to eat and
was hungry-hungrier, We may
presume, than anybody. He had,
however, thegood fortune to secure
five eggs fer twenty francs, and the
generosity to share them with two of
his companions But %foreseeiug the
mathematical difficulty which would
arise If he were to attempt an equal
division. he took the p~recaution to
eat two Of the five himself first, and
then dashed of to mis- comrades, and
with a great show Of magnanimity
made & fair distribution of the re-
naming three, keeping to himself
all knowledge OF the two be had so
conveniently got rid Of. A rapa.
cious statesman would have kept all
the eggs, and q Quixotic statesman
would have kept only one of them.
Bnt it is Prince Bismarck's peculiar
distinction to combine eedulous at
tention to the interests of number
one with an elective display OF
unseMshness. He has divided coun-
tries ere now on the principle on
which he dealt with the FIVE eggs

They were men of iron hearts, however. In

unmoved, and all they could make out of
the mess of c%orrupting testimony adduced
was that Louise had attempted to enter

that Blanche had pushed Louise out. Con-

HOLY WEEK.
A Season OF Solemn Contemplation
for All Christians.

A Season Of Solemn Contemplation
for All Christians.
This. the week Immediately preceding
Easter, is specially consecrated to tfreeom'
memoration of the Passion of our Re
deemer. It is also called passion Week
from this cause. It's institution is of very
early origin. In the Roman Catholic
Church the special characteristics of the
celebration of Holy Week are increased
solemnity and gloom, penitential rigor and
mourning. All instrumental music is dis.
continued. the affairs are stripped Of their
ornaments. pictures and statues
are yelled from sight. All
church services wear a deep tinge
of mourning. all tie days being
devoted to the recital OF the events in the
closing scenes of our Saviour's life. The
days specially solemnized are Palm Sun
day to-day and Spy Wednesday, Holy
Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Satur-
day. On Holy Thursday the Last Supper
and the institution OF the Eucharist are
specially commemorated. On that day
also the oil used in various services Of the
church, the washin g of pilgrims feet and
the Tenebre are performed. On Good
Friday the services, as is known, are spec
tally solemn and the fasting absolute. All
lights are extinguished in the churches and
an air of gloom reminds the faithful Of the
awful sacrifice thus concentrated. On
Saturday the darkness in the churches con
tinues unrelieved until Easter Sunday
breaks when the Church rises, metaphori-
cally speaking, and puts on her finest
robes. her affairs decked with flowers, and
the risen Saviour is welcomed with all the
pomp and ceremony of elaborate worship.
In Rome this season is observed with a
completeness possible nowhere else, as
there the Holy Father is a participant in a
ceremonial City designed to honor the
wearer of the triple crown.

Mines and Mining.

Major Budd has made a new strike OF
extreme richness on the mine named for
him carrying ruby silver, which lie will de-

DR.. Rae's electric process for saving
Toured quicksilver in the process of ANAL
gamation has proved a success. A recent
cleanup at the Douglas Mill shows a saw
ing of " per cent in quicksilver and SO per
cent in ~fineness in bullion. The total saw
ing at the mill by adopting the electrical
process is estimated at $4,000 per month
over the old method.
Some of the lesser officials OF the Blue
Bird mill have had an eye on the old Gold
Hill mine, it being open for relocation, and
had taken some samples away for assay
ing. A Mormon from Utah heard of the
ground being vacant. went out one night
about ~ o'clock and located the same,
much to the surprise OF the former parties.
The mine will now be known as the John
Doe.

Fourth of July. 1887.

1t may seem premature, with snow still
flying and the Thermometer down in tn,
thirties to talk OF the anniversary of tn,
Nations natal day, but there is nothin,
like taking time by the forelock, and brac
ing up to take a long pull and a strong pull
lis to land the biggest celebration on record
in Butte. Captain ]. C. Shepherd, the pa,
triotic old soldier, is perfecting arrange
ments for the grandest Fourth of July cele
bration ever had in Montana Territory.
He has made arrangements for a fine se.ec.
ton of decorations and emblems, which
will excel anything of the kind ever seen in
this city. He has also arranged to have
the latest and best designs OF fireworks for
a grand p.yrotechnic display at night.
There are 10 three military companies
organized in this city-the Union Guards,
Emmett Guards and Parnell Rifles, and in
addition the organization of an artillery
company is in contemplation by parties
who fully understand that arm of the SER
vice. These with the G. A. r. Post, Butte
Fire Brigade, the two divisions of the An.
Gent Order of Hibernians, Patriotic Sons
of America, The Christopher Columbus
Benevolent Society and other civic socie-
ties now organized here, a fair display of
the different art, manufacturing and mer-
camille establishments Of Butte, should
make it one of the finest parades ever seen
in the Rocky Mountains.
The Captain has designed a Car of State,
which he proposes to have properly
painted by Oscar Steinberg, the wellknown
painter, and which is to he decorated in q
proper manner under his own personal
supervision.
During the Sd. 4th and 5th of July, the
energetic Secretary of the West Side Rae
ing Association, Hon. Lee Mantle, will
have a good field of horses, and there will
be races each day.
On the evening OF the 18th the Butte City
Fire Brigade will give a ball for their bene-
fit, that evening having by common con-
sent been set aside for them.
The Alice Band, having joined the Union
Guards as their company band, will be in
line.
The Parnell Rifles have selected a very
fine uniform, which they expect to receive
by Decoration Day, and the Parnell Rifle
Band, formerly Orton's), will appear on
the Fourth in a new uniform.
Invitations should be tent to all outside
military organizations. If a sufficient num-
Der could be procured to attend the citi-
zens of our city could, in all reasonable
probability, witness a sham battle, dress
parade and prize drill.
Let all good citizens take hold of the
matter and assist the Veteran Captain in
making the coming Fourth of July celebra-
ton one of the notable events in the his
tory OF our young and enterprising city.
Many other attractions will be added.
due notice of which will be given The
MINERS readers.

Fatal Accident.

Information came to this Office last even
ing from a private source that Lorin Farr.
a Mormon Bishop, five-ply polyeamist and
one of the most prominent, wealthy and
influential followers of the prophet" in
Utah, met with an accident Thursday
night at Pocatello, which will probably re-
suit fatally. Farr resides at Ogden,
and at the time of the accident
was on his way to Paris, Idaho
a Mormon settlement in Lake
County. Reaching Pocatello about 8
O'Clock, a change OF cars gave him some
time at that place before continuing his
journey on the Oregon Short Line, which
was spent in visiting Mr.. West, a son of
Bishop West. who has charge of Silva's
warehouse. Lea ring the warehouse on his
return to the Pacific Hotel, Mr.. Farr fell
off the platform a distance OF ten feet,
striking on his head and shoulder. causing
conclusion of the brain. DR.. Carnahan
was summoned from Ogden. The injured
man was taken to Ogden yesterday in a
special car. He has been unconscious
since the accident, and being advanced in
years, cannot survive.
